In the latest episode of the Squash Player Podcast, former World No.16 Greg Lobban peaks with striking honesty about a career built not on romance, but on work.

He has never felt entirely comfortable on court. He never saw himself as one of the game’s natural artists. He did not arrive as a junior prodigy. His best finish at the British Junior Open was 67th.

And yet he built a top-20 career.

That is what makes this conversation so compelling.

It is not the story of someone born for squash.

It is the story of someone who made himself hard to beat.

Greg talks about fatherhood, the professional grind, the pressure behind the rankings, leaving Scotland to represent Australia, and the Olympic dream that has given him fresh energy ahead of LA28.

The result is one of the most honest conversations we have recorded so far.

Because not every athlete is living a dream.

Some are doing a job.
